We've just (in the last month) added mxp to our Rom2.4 derived mud. I've been busy with other projects so haven't done much with it except using those great extended colors :). Everything works as it should with the telnet negotiotian, character substitution, etc. but i am having a problem getting the clickable exits to work. this is the element i define in turn_on_mxp()


write_to_buffer( d, MXPTAG("!ELEMENT Ex \"<send href='&dir;' hint='Go &dir;.'\" ATT='dir'"),0);

and this is the line that gets sent with an exit


sprintf(buf, MXPTAG("Ex '%s'")"%s"MXPTAG("/Ex"), dir_name[door], capitalize(dir_name[door]));

this displays correctly and sends the right command on click to zmud users, but not to mushclient users. i suppose its unbalanced somehow or the syntax isn't quite right. can i have a tip on fixing this? if i've left any important info out just let me know :)

In the MXP configuration page set the debug level to Information, and try it. Please report any relevant messages from the debug window.

Off the top of my head you don't seem to close the <send> tag. Try this:

write_to_buffer( d, MXPTAG("!ELEMENT Ex \"<send href='&dir;' hint='Go &dir;.'>\" ATT='dir'"),0);

Note the ">" symbol I added to the <send> tag.
